Press Conference of the President (aka, the Bad Tie Convention)

My evening of tv watching was abruptly interrupted by the President's Press Conference. Embarassing to admit, but I've been so busy I had no idea it was planned for tonight.

Peekay, SteveO and I had just sat down, and since this is important, we stayed on the channel rather than surfing over to the cable channels. When President Bush made his entrance I was very happy to see that he was not sporting one of those hideous baby blue ties he seems to have a great fondness for; as a matter of fact, he had picked a very pleasing, very strong red power tie. I kept noticing how well it matched the red carpet. (Hey, it's been a tough week, okay?) :D

However, engrossed as I was in what the President had to say, I soon found myself distracted by all of the bad ties worn by members of the Press. They say justice is blind? So is the person responsible for making some of these ties! There was this one tie, a bright green stripey monstrosity that almost made me bleed from the eyes. It was followed by a striped blue one that one drove me out of the room. I had to boycott the rest of the Press Conference and read about it later on the White House website.
